Seriously, How Did He Win My Heart
Chapter 385 Upstairs and Downstairs Neighbors

On the first day of the New Year's holiday, Emelia, Maisie, Jean, and Nina were having a video chat in the group.

This was the first time they had seen each other in video after separated. Emelia looked at Maisie several times and couldn't help but ask, "Maisie, why do I feel that your face looked much rounder?" Maisie raised her hand to touch her face and said with a smile, "Broad-mind brings full and round. My appetite is better when I am in a good mood."

Emelia glanced at Maisie again and didn't say anything else.

Anyway, Maisie looked better now, not as pale and weak as before, that was good.

They chatted for a while more. After hearing that Emelia had received so many gifts, Nina said jealously, "You are definitely spoiled by everyone in the Longerich family now. You are the apple of the eye." After saying that, Nina sighed, "I feel that men are useless to you. As a rich woman, you can keep an attractive young man as your lover whenever you want."

Emelia was speechless. "You're really open-minded."

Maisie coughed lightly and continued, "Superstar, I always feel that you're trying to insinuate Mr. Hughes. He is only in his early thirties and is young and attractive, okay?"

Nina quickly smiled and apologized, "I was wrong. That's not what I mean."

Maisie then said to Emelia, "Emelia, if you really want to keep one, why don't you consider Mr. Hughes? After all, you two have been together for several years and are very familiar with each other's bodies. Everything will come naturally!"

"What are you women talking about?"

Emelia felt awkward.

They were obviously talking about the old days, but what were they talking about now?

Why was she going to keep a man?

She was very embarrassed and annoyed, but Nina and the other two burst out laughing, making Emelia choked with anger.

Nina added, "I've already thought about it. I won't replace a man anymore. I won't wait for someone any longer. I'll work hard to make money. In the future, we'll buy townhouses to live together and take care of each other when we're old."

"Your suggestion is good. Count me in."

Jean replied with a smile.

Nina said, "Why do you want to join us? You haven't been hurt by a man."

Jean was just angered by Arthur but not heartbroken from lost love. There was no need for her to die alone.

Jean spread out her hands and said, "But I think men are too terrible. I'm not interested in them."

Maisie said, "You have to take me with you for retiring together."

Nina said faintly, "When the time comes, the four of us might as well raise our money to build a big house. Have you seen the news? Several old women bought a house to spend the rest of their lives in retirement. What a lively life! Isn't it better than having a good or terrible relationship with men?"

Jean replied, "You are right. When the time comes, let's replace a place beside the sea and surrounded by flowers."

The girls chatted and laughed for a long time.

Later, Maisie called Emelia again and said to her seriously, "By the way, Emelia, I have something to tell you." Emelia was puzzled. "What is it?"

Maisie said with some embarrassment, "Well... You know, I'm here to help Mr. Hughes with the chip industrial park project? We took a fancy to a piece of land, where there is a factory on it. The owner of the factory had a granddaughter. The day before yesterday, when Mr. Hughes came to check on the progress, she saw him and she, she fell in love with him..."

As soon as Maisie finished speaking, Nina was shocked that she almost spat out the water in her mouth. Jean also leaned closer to the screen to listen to her.

On the other hand, Emelia, the person involved was very calm. "This has nothing to do with me. I've cut off contacts with him now. It's a good thing that a girl likes him."

Maisie sighed. "Well, it's my fault. I shouldn't have said this to you."

Maisie said sorry, but in fact, she felt very helpless.

She couldn't do anything about it. Her boss had told her to send such a message to Emelia.

Of course, the granddaughter of the factory owner did have a crush on Julian, and not only that, but she also wanted to marry him.

Maisie had been in Grafstin for quite a while and she finally nailed a piece of land for construction of the industrial park. There were several factories on the land. After negotiating with those factory owners and signing a contract, they all agreed to sell the land.

Some of them simply sold the factory to her because they didn't manage it well. But, when it came to the largest factory, originally, she had a smooth negotiation with the director, and he already agreed to sign the contract.

However, Julian went to Grafstin for the final investigation. After having a meal with the old factory director and his granddaughter, the unexpected episode happened.

Julian didn't invite them alone, but the bosses of all the factories on that piece of land were present as well. Unexpectedly, the granddaughter of the old factory director happened to have come home for her college holiday, so she attended the dinner party too.

Then the girl fell in love with Julian at the dinner party at first sight and insisted on marrying him.

Now she said that not until Julian marry her that her grandfather would sell the land to him, which made Julian very angry.

The point was that the old man had raised his granddaughter since she was a child and doted on her very much. Now, he only wanted to satisfy his granddaughter's willful wish and insisted on marrying his granddaughter to Julian.

Maisie sneered in her heart. She knew that they not only took a fancy to Julian, but also his wealth.

However, if their family didn't agree to sign the contract and move away, the Hughes Group wouldn't be able to build the industrial park.

The worst part was that the other owners had all signed the contract and got the deposit. It wasn't good for the Hughes Group to take back the deposit and give up this place.

Maisie blamed herself for her incompetence all day long. But Julian didn't blame her, after all...

It seemed that it was him who ruined all her achievements in the end.

No one expected that he would be pestered by the little girl because he was too handsome.

Of course, Maisie didn't say anything more about this matter to Emelia. Anyway, she just needed to send the message.

On the afternoon of the New Year's Day, Emelia drove to the airport to pick up Nina.

Nina didn't get along well with her parents at home. She basically left home on the first day of the New Year, just like this time.

Nina first went to the Longerich family to visit Vincent and Naomi. Then Emelia sent Nina back to her residence.

However, because she hadn't cleaned up her apartment for a few days, Nina suggested that she stay at Emelia's home. By the way, she could also have dinner made by Emelia, whose cooking skills were excellent.

They parked the car and waited for the elevator arm in arm. When the elevator door opened, a man in a suit came out.

Nina and Emelia were shocked as if they had seen a ghost. They stared at Julian in front of them for a long time without saying a word, and didn't even notice that the elevator door was closed.

Julian stopped and looked at them with a poker face. Nina returned to her senses and pointed at him, asking in dissatisfaction, "Why are you here?"

Julian replied indifferently, "Why can't I be here?"

"Because..." Nina gritted her teeth in anger.

Julian glanced at Emelia for a second, then turned and strode away.

Nina said indignantly, "He just has to keep haunting you, doesn't he?"

Emelia was quite frightened as well. If she was still in Riverside City, she wouldn't have been so surprised when she suddenly saw him. But now, they were in the capital city, which was a metropolitan. How come they ended up living in the same building, again?☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
